Safety for Old and Young. A warning for the safety of old peo ple and little children Is contained In a statement Issued by Insurance Com missioner James R. Young.

State of the necessfy for especial i arc. during the severe cold weather, in looking out for the safety of thos who are unable to properly take care of themfflves. Turing very cold weather Utile children are generally, kept closely in the house. Where the-e arc open fire '.ufy are con stantly in danger when every means of protection Is not provided. Wlrnn' stoves and heaters are used, when the extr. me cold calls fcr very hot fires, a child dress agfinst stove re 1 hot may cost the child's life. A Are screen costs only a few dimes and may save untold suffering and sorrow. The screen is the safest plan but where screen are not available strict ,re should be taken to see that a cliild is never left alone in a room with an unprotected fire. Infanta sleeping in carriages or cribs liava been burned to death by a coal pop ping from a fire. A acreen would pre. vent this.
